792...Blame Obama If The Habs or Senators Lose

Ditto the Flames and the Oilers and the Canucks and the Maple Leafs.

Well, not the Maple Leafs, they are going to lose no matter what.

The problem, as explicated by Don Martin in the CanWest News Service papers this morning is the U.S. Department of Transportation banned Air Canada's charter fleet, Jetz, from flying between U.S. cities. Simply put, Jetz can get the Senators from Ottawa to Boston but not from Boston to New York City.

This anti free trade b u l l s h ' t was pushed by the U.S. Air Line Pilots Association who want to keep the jobs as flyers for their pilots.

Jetz also is the charter for a number of American teams, specifically the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Bruins and will presumably lose that business.

You know, the radical left and right are all vexed about SPP, the Security and Prosperity Partnership which will allegedly make Canada, the United States and Mexico one big happy borderless state. What is happening visa vi the NHL charters, which also affected bands on tour and the U. S. NHL teams, flys in the face of the SPP.

773...Some Guys Have All The Luck

Take Keith Acton.

Mr. Acton had a nice little NHL career including a ring with the Edmonton Oilers in the mid eighties followed by full time employment in the game as an assistant coach.

Right now Mr. Acton is entering his seventh season working for his hometown team, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

A nice life, it is.

And it just got nicer.

Sports Illustrated reports that Mr. Acton won 91,054$ in Lotto 6/49.

No word on when or where he will do his happy dance.
